Very Confused Griff just stops

[Phud]

Ok, sorry about the length of post, I have had a few instances of my Griff 500, just cutting out, always seems to be dropping on to idle or over run.

Three times, twice on an up slope and once just meandering down a hill, each time the engine just seems to loose spark, not juddering or cough fart splutter.

Once the engine caught straight away, twice, once up and once down hill, I think it was as I pressed the accelerator she cut, however refused to start, once towed, pushed back and cooled down, first kick she starts.

Now this started to play on my mind so have had her at idle since for around 2 hours over four or five sessions, also playing with the revs, she has not stopped once, so apart from a load she was doing simulated runs. Yes complete with grinning idiot behind the wheel.

Confused, the only thing I found was the vacuum on the distributor was loose. Tightened it and this should not cause issues.

I am now worried that she will cut out, and I will become an obstacle on the side of the road.

Any thoughts, help or even laughter welcome, stepper is clean, and she runs, and revs sweet as a well a Griff...


Thanks Phud

Cheers V8, looks like a reset, I say this because I have sat running, ok, too scared to venture out for around an hour at the longest and she did not fail.

Woo hoo
